a laundry list of accomplishments in her relatively short life.

BENNER: Lin Dunn working her coaching magic on the Indiana Fever

August 20, 2009

When it comes to basketball coaching greats with Indiana ties, the question is not where to start the list—John Wooden,
Bob Knight, Tony Hinkle and Bobby Leonard would qualify as an initial Mount Rushmore—but where to end it. Among
women, the list is significantly shorter, but there’s one name that would be right at the top.

EDITORIAL: Susan Bayh’s tangled web puts cloud over senator husband

July 30, 2009

Corporate boards need more women, but not people such as Susan Bayh, wife of Sen. Evan Bayh. It’s not
that she isn’t up to the task. The former attorney at Eli Lilly and Co. and visiting professor at Butler University
is by all accounts capable. So we’re not surprised she regularly receives invitations to serve on boards. But
we are surprised she accepts.

in 23 of the nation’s top 25 markets.

SPORTS: Big Ten Network trades controversy for success-WEB ONLY

March 28, 2009

For sure, I’m not to the point where I’m setting my DVR to record Northwestern-Minnesota field hockey. In fact, I’ll never be to that point. But increasingly, my itchy remote control finger is punching up the Big Ten Network. Less than two years after its audacious launch, the Chicagobased BTN has expanded into more than […]

Lilly, Pfizer spend millions on murky illness-WEB ONLY

February 9, 2009

Two drug companies, Pfizer Inc. and Eli Lilly and Co., spent hundreds of millions of dollars last year to raise awareness of a murky illness, helping boost sales of pills recently approved as treatments and drowning out unresolved questions – including whether it’s a real disease at all.

Carmel’s play for the arts

July 21, 2008

Carmel’s play for the arts Some fear it will come at Indianapolis’ expense The $80 million-plus Carmel Performing Arts Center, a neo-classical-styled concert hall designed to be an acoustical masterpiece, is still two years from opening. But it’s already the source of some dissonance in the Indianapolis arts community to the tune of Mozart’s String […]

Carmel’s play for the arts: Some fear it will come at Indianapolis’ expense

July 21, 2008

The $80 million-plus Carmel Performing Arts Center, a neo-classical-styled concert hall designed to be an acoustical masterpiece, is still two years from opening. But it’s already the source of some dissonance in the Indianapolis arts community to the tune of Mozart’s String Quartet No. 19, in C major. On one hand, Indianapolis-area performing arts groups would sacrifice to theater god Dionysus for a chance to perform at the 1,600-seat music hall or at its adjacent 500-seat theater. But others fret…

At most Indiana public firms, CEO pay hasn’t fallen with stock

June 23, 2008

Most public companies say they tie executive compensation to performance, but an IBJ review of pay data from 65 Indiana-based
firms shows otherwise. Last year, more than two-thirds of Indiana-based public companies saw their share prices decline, yet
many continued to award eye-popping compensation to their executives.

Commentary: Reforming elections should be top priority

April 14, 2008

The intensity of the Democratic presidential contest is propelling expectations that Indiana primary voters will influence the selection of the Democratic presidential nominee. The question is, will Indiana conduct a fair election? Elections are the heart of democracy and the instrument for the people to choose leaders and hold them accountable. The validity of the elected depends upon the integrity of the voting process. If elections lack integrity, the entire democratic system is at risk. Since 2000, polls have consistently…

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: World War II veterans built economy into juggernaut

November 12, 2007

Veterans Day is upon us again, and the slow passing of the World War II generation sparks thought on their contributions. I will let others dwell on their considerable wartime achievements. I am an economist, not a historian, after all. Our 16 million World War II veterans emerged from conflict in the late summer of 1945 to a muchfractured world. The production of goods-where facilities had survived bombs and artillery-was almost wholly focused on the demands of war. A worldwide…

SPORTS: These are the most valuable players on our team

October 15, 2007

Colts quarterback Peyton Manning made news recently when Business Week ranked him 13th among the 100 most-powerful people in sports. Not to be outdone, or to let a good idea go unstolen, here’s my list of the 25 most- influential people in Indianapolis sports. Criteria: my opinion. No. 1: Indianapolis Motor Speedway owner Tony George. With three races (including next September’s Moto GP motorcycle debut) bringing in more than $700 million annually, IMS is the elephant in the room that…

to curb colleges’ discretion in spending donor contributions.

A&E: Fringe characters meet Fringe Film

August 20, 2007

By the time you read this, Gen-Con-one of our town’s largest conventions-will have packed up its multisided dice, folded its cowled costumes, and drunk its final Mountain Dew (at least for this year). How you feel about this convergence of game players will influence, in part, how you feel about “A Great Disturbance,” a feature film to be screened Aug. 17, 24 and 31 as part of Fringe-Film, the new movie component of the 3-year-old IndyFringe Festival. To be clear,…
